The head of the Comanchero bikie gang has been sent back to jail after being charged by Sydney police for allegedly breaching parole.
Officers arrested the 29-year-old at Coogee in Sydney's east on Friday.
Media reports have named the man as Mark Buddle, the Comanchero's national president.
A police spokesman was unable to confirm this, but he did say "the man is a senior member of the Comancheros outlaw motorcycle club".
After police charged Buddle by virtue of a warrant he was given to Corrective Services NSW, who took him to jail.
"If you're done for breach of parole you have to go back to jail and serve your time," the spokesman told AAP.
Police wouldn't say how Buddle had breached his parole.
Earlier this year, Buddle was granted parole after serving about five months for his part in a large pub brawl at Clovelly last September.
Three bikie clubhouses have also been shut down this week following raids across the city.
On Wednesday the Comanchero clubhouse at Turrella, in Sydney's south, was searched. Officers seized alcohol, documentation and all bikie paraphernalia.
Hells Angels' clubhouses at Annandale and Haymarket were closed by police the next day.
Evidence was uncovered of alcohol being illegally sold at each clubhouse but no arrests were made.
And despite the efforts of police, shootings are still occurring regularly in Sydney.
Teenage bikie associate Bassil Hijazi was murdered in Sydney's southwest in one of three targeted shootings in last week.
Vasko Boskovski, who was known to police, died in hospital early on Tuesday after he was shot near his Earlwood home.
Shots were also fired at an Eagle Vale home about midnight last Friday.
Detective Superintendent Mal Lanyon on Friday denied police are fighting a losing battle against Sydney's bikie gangs.
